The budding actress also shared that she can’t wait for viewers to see how hard she has been working on her acting career.
“I’m excited for you guys to just see me in my acting environment; just seeing me just tackling everything that I really want to do in life,” said the Atlanta socialite. “I feel like people haven’t really seen me in that light like that, so I want them to see me in that zone.”
Toya Johnson-Rushing says the show has been ‘therapeutic’ for her family
During our chat, we asked Toya if filming the show has helped or hindered the relationship with her mom, and she admitted that it has been “therapeutic” for them all.
“Everybody is doing their own individual therapy with it,” said the mom of two. “It’s helping us, making things better for sure.”
